Unto the Outlands College of Heralds, our respected friends and
colleagues who give freely of their time to provide commentary, and all
others who come by these letters, on this 10th day of July, A.S. XLV (2011 CE), does
Baron Randal Carrick send greetings on behalf of
Sheik Omar Mohammud Mirzazadeh, White
Stag Principal
Herald. We would like to thank Lady Khalidah bint Yahya'a for
agreeing to consider taking over the office of Castle Herald.

It
would assist Castle Herald greatly in the future if you would e-mail a copy of
the documentation summary for name submissions along with the paper
copies; It saves having to re-type everything again. Also, please be
sure that you include dates of registration and return for armory for previously
registered names and resubmissions of any kind. If Castle can't find where
an item was returned, it may be pended until the information is provided or
payment is made for a new submission.

Here follows the Kingdom of the Outlands Letter of Presentation for July 2011. Your comments and suggestions
are always welcome. Errors found herein are my sole
responsibility.Anyone may comment upon the items found herein, and e-mail
commentary to the herald's commentary list is encouraged. Please have
comments
on items contained herein to Rampart Herald by August 15, 2011,
for the decision meeting tentatively scheduled for August 17, 2011. As a reminder, the College of Arms
requests commentary on all items, including appeals.

We
have found hints that Wernolau may date to the 18th century.
Excerpted from “Bye-gones: Relating to Wales and the Border Counties”, pp450
date Sept 26, 1894, viewed at GoogleBooks.com, “The following families have
been on theirrespective farms four generations, none for a period
less than three and many for seven generations:- The Sides family at Penybryn,
the Morris family at Wernoleu…”

We
found several references to the use of Bryn Golau, Bryngolau, or Bryngolea as a
placename throughout Wales but we could not document any of these before the
beginning of the 19th century. We realize that genealogy sites are
often poor documentation, but just to show the usage of the placename we will
provide this quote from RootsChat.com: Edwards Family - Marriage of Charles
& Ellenor (http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php?PHPSESSID=jvetjmkjc7cqd9crjvh23s43h6&topic=510759.0),
“My first find was Bryn Golau nr Pontypridd in Mid. Glam, the next Bryn Goleu
a cairn near Lampeter, Ceredigion. Then there is Bryn Golau in Llantysilio and
another in Gwyddelwern, and finally Bryn Goleu on the lower part of the
Horseshoe Pass Road fromLlangollen. Probably there are others too.” From various research bu
the submitters it appears at least one of these is the name of a farmstead, one
is a hamlet and one is a mountain or hill.

Given the fact that period Welsh placenames used a wide variety of
adjectives (big, wild, old, high) as well as colors (black, white, red, grey)
and the use of Bryngolau can be documented to post-period the submitters believe
that Bryngolau is a viable period Welsh placename.

Submitter
has provided a sufficient petition in support of this name and device.

2.
Gilliana Leigh Gallwey. New Name and Device. Sable between three
bulls' heads couped argent, armed and engorged of a strand of pearls Or, a
chevron argent.

Submitter's
previous device, Sable, a pagoda within a dragon in annulo vorant of its tail
Or, was returned on the same Letter stating

This device is returned under RfS X.5
for visual conflict with the device of Balin the Fairhaired, Sable, a square
anvil within an annulet Or. It is also returned for conflict with the device of
Ellen of Neglamer, Sable, a conical roofed tower Or, ajouree in the upper
sinister part, with a single CD for adding the dragon. For those interested,
ajouree means that the tower has a window. This is not a detail we would blazon
at this time.

While a pagoda is not found in period
European heraldry, we will register them as variants of towers (and as such they
conflict with towers). The pagoda in this submission does not match those that
we could find. A pagoda should be drawn with at least three tiers and with a
pointy, not flat, top. If documentation for the style of pagoda (as a period
style of pagoda) shown in the submission exists, the submitter should provide it
with any resubmission using this same style of pagoda.

Submitter
changed the pagoda to a bezant to clear the above stated conflicts.

5.
Pipa de Blakemere. Change of Name from Rayhana bint Yakub al-Najjar and
New Device. Per bend argent and sable, a panther rampant incensed sable
and a cross fleury argent, within a bordure embattled per bend purpure and
argent.

Gender: Female. Submitter cares most about the language/culture of the
name, defined as "English". Changes accepted.
